The settlement will force Mr. Musk to step aside as chairman for three years and pay a $20 million fine.

ByNeal E. Boudette and Peter Eavis So Tesla is no longer seeking to go private. Now what? On Monday, the electric carmaker began to take stock of the residual damage from its August whirlwind — including the prospect of harsher scrutiny of its bottom line and of its chief executive, Elon Musk. In the past, analysts, investors and even admirers of the company were sometimes willing to overlook quarterly losses and missed targets because of the persuasiveness of Mr. Musk’s long-term vision. But his erratic course over the past few weeks and his sudden reversal on the buyout plan, announced late Friday night, may prompt them to take a more … [Read more...] about Elon Musk and Tesla Resolved One Issue.

Boudette June 30, 2018 FREMONT, Calif. — Just outside the north wing of Tesla’s sprawling electric-car plant here, an unusual structure has taken shape in the last few weeks: a tent, about 50 feet high and several hundred feet long, its taut gray canvas membrane supported by aluminum columns.

It would be unfair to criticize Tesla Motors’ CEO without also illustrating just how important he is to the company. Were it not for Elon Musk, Tesla would have never made it this far. He was not only integral in its foundation but also the driving factor as it picked up investors. While the company was building innovative products, he has kept shareholders looking toward the horizon and keeping the faith. Unfortunately, 2018 hasn’t been a great year for Musk. While the brand has managed to keep its exceptionally loyal fan base, bad publicity has shaken investor confidence. No automaker is free from ugly stories but Tesla has been deemed semi-miraculous for some time — making any failures that much more glaring. The bar has been set unreasonably high and unkept promises have caused issues. Tesla has itself a PR problem and, like most things, it looks like it’ll be up to Elon to fix it.
